When looking for options on tattoo designs, we consult the web and choose from thousands of galleries and finally end up with the one design that speaks to us. That one design that we can relate to in many ways and it sparks our creative energy to customize the design that will totally fit our personality. Though sometimes, we end up still clueless about which one to get. Here I list down the top 3 most searched designs I found online.

The top most searched tattoo design is the Celtic art. Celts are known to have a rich heritage of art, language and belief systems which are evident in their designs. They have stylized images of the natural world such as hearts, spirals, knots, crosses, animals and trees. These designs are always a hit when you would like something that satisfies your need for art and technicalities at the same time. They fulfill the linear and curve aspects, filled and non-filled spaces and architectural and structural concepts. Choose that Celtic design which suits you best and have it tweaked to suit the body part you will have it on.

The second most searched design is the Kanji design. Kanji are Chinese characters that are adapted in the modern Japanese writing system. Kanji characters were widely used to mark prisoners in Japan a long time ago before they were publicly accepted as a mere form of body art. This also had a negative connotation because members of the Yakuza also sported this kind of tattoo. In getting a Kanji tattoo, one must do a thorough research as each character represents an object, idea or a thought as a whole, rather than on a per letter basis. You must have your characters verified by someone who knows Kanji intimately before you finally decide to get inked.

The third most searched design is the Ambigram tattoo. This kind of tattoo usually creates a stir in some people because it can be read two ways. Most often than not, there are two words, one word can be read on one side, and another word can be seen on the other. Sometimes it's just the same word that can be read on both ways. One example is the artwork on the book and movie adaptation called Angels and Demons. The word Angels can be read upright and the word Demons can be read when it's reversed. Not all tattoo artists can do this but there are now hundreds of websites offering this ambigram service for a fee. It entails great talent and creativity to come up with an ambigram tattoo design.Source URL: http://andrewsanchez.blogspot.com/2011/11/yakuza-tattoo-designs.htmlVisit Andrew Sanchez for Daily Updated Hairstyles Collection
